By the intermission, I was a bundle of nerves. It wasn’t just the play—which was intense, beautiful, dark, and perfectly performed. It was the fact that I’d spent over an hour sitting in the tension of the theater box, painfully aware of Max sitting next to me, watching raptly. Devon, on my other side, fidgeted more frequently, until each time Olivia put a hand lightly on his knee.

When the intermission lights went up, Max left the box without a word, presumably in search of a men’s room. Olivia noticed and stood abruptly, saying she’d be right back. It took me a second to realize she was leaving me alone with Devon.

As if he was reading my mind, I caught Devon looking at me with an amused look in his green eyes. “She wants us to get along,” he explained.

I frowned at him. “I thought we already did.”

He shrugged. “It’s important to her,” he said, as if that was all the reason he needed. He nodded toward the stage. “Do you understand this play?”

“I haven’t read it, but I know the story,” I said. “We had a Shakespeare course in acting school.” I blinked at him, realizing what he was implying. “You didn’t know the story already?”

He stared at the stage, looking deep in thought. “I don’t think it’s going to end well,” he commented. “I think it’s going to go badly for him. Don’t tell me if I’m right or not.”

I stared at him for another second, realizing exactly why my sister was a bit obsessed with Devon Wilder. He’d put on a suit—which looked pretty freaking good on him, I had to admit—and sat through a Shakespeare play that he’d never heard or read a word of before. Shakespeare. And he was following it, the same way any other guy would follow the latest Fast and the Furious movie. Anyone who took a glance at Devon Wilder’s past—at his criminal record and his two years in prison for driving the getaway van after the robbery of a TV store—and thought they were dealing with an idiot would have a very big problem.

A lot of San Francisco drug dealers had learned that exact lesson when he’d shut them all down after they’d tried to blackmail him and hurt Olivia. There wasn’t one of them left to threaten him now. They’d all been scooped up in a massive sweep he’d engineered with the cops.

Complicated didn’t even touch Devon’s surface. Like Max Reilly, his best friend.

I realized his green gaze had landed on me, and one of his eyebrows went up. “What?” he asked me.

The words popped out of my mouth. “Which one is smarter, you or Max?”

“Max,” he answered immediately. “Easy. I’m usually catching up to him. You know he lent me books while I was in prison, right?”

“No. I didn’t.” I could picture it, though, and I liked what I saw. “From that big collection he has in his apartment?”

He glanced at me again, and I realized I’d just admitted I’d seen the inside of Max’s apartment.
